Love the idea of taking the control of who wins out of your hands. This makes it more fun for you as it adds a level of suspense.

I keep saying it but I love your roster. Your opening match could be a main event in some places in 1985.

Hello again everybody. Welcome to Power Pro Wrestling, coming to you from Dothan, Alabama and the Houston County Farm Center. I am Jim Ross and my partner today is Cowboy Bill Watts. We have got to get right to the video tape from Lake Front Arena in New Orleans and the big Loser Leave Town Title Match for the North American Title between Ted Dibiase and Steve “Dr. Death Williams. VIDEO MATCH It obvious that both Dibiase and Williams are exhausted by neither will give an inch. As the ref admonishes Williams for a closed fist in the corner, Dibiase loads up the black glove. Williams rushes in and Dibiase swings! Wham! Dibiase’s punch is blocked and Dr. Death keeps shoulder blocking him into the corner. Dibiase stumbles out and Williams scoops him up! Oklahoma Stampede and we have a new champ! Jim Ross: That’s right folks, we have a new champ and the Rat Pack as we knew it is dead! Dibiase is banned from the UWF! COMMERCIAL MATCH DUSTY RHODES DEFEATS VERLON BIGGS WITH A BIONIC ELBOW Dusty Rhodes: In just one week, we will see the end of this Russian Hammer walking around here with our TV title. Yes, Vlad is big! Yes, Vlad is strong! Yes Vlad is undefeated since coming to the UWF. Well that is all going to change. Vlad, you have never been in the ring with the American Dream. I am going to show you that America never quits. America never slows down. America always comes out on top. Next week, right here on TV, I am going to beat you so bad that you are going to wish you never left the hell hole you call a country. This is the land of the free. The home of the brave and the land of the AMERICAN DREAM, DUSTY RHODES. MATCH: SHANE DOUGLAS with MR. WRESTLING II DEFEATS KEN DRAPER WITH THE MILLION DOLLAR KNEE LIFT Wrestling II and Douglas continue to gloat about how they took JYD out the UWF and about how Shane is the best young wrestler in the sport today. COMMERCIAL FACES OF FEAR WITH SKANDAR AKBAR DESTROY JERRY MORALES & DOUG FLYNN At the interview desk, we have Akbar demanding one more shot at the Road Warriors and the World Titles but all of a sudden Stan Hansen & Bruiser Brody come out. Both Watts and Ross hype up their appearance but hope that calmer heads will prevail. Both Hansen and Brody say they are back in the UWF for one thing and that is the UWF World Tag Titles. They keep hearing about how tough the Road Warriors are but they believe they are the toughest two dudes in all of pro wrestling. They are also sick and tired of Akbar demanding things. Hansen says enough is enough and that the Faces of Fear have already had their chances and now it is time to step aside. Needless to say, neither team is backing down and we find out from Cowboy Bill Watts that in two weeks we will have a number one contender’s bout. To get the hyping underway, the two teams have a wild brawl as we head to break. COMMERCIAL HACKSAW DUGGAN DEFEATS MASTER G WITH A FOOTBALL TACKLE Jim Ross: So long from Shreveport. Don’t forget to join us next week where we will see the American Dream face the undefeated Vlad “The Russian Hammer” for the UWF TV Title.

Luger vs Bock in 2/3 falls was a great match!

Great job pushing your mid card guys up the food chain. Regal, Barr, Hall all had great weeks. Give credit to Verne here for letting his son take the fall against Barr.... ALL FOR THE COMPANY! Atlas-Orndorff would have been fun to see. You have so many big names mixed with up and comers that this is by far the most balanced roster we have going.

DEATH” WILLIAMS UWF UNITED STATES CHAMPION: HACKSAW BUTCH REED UWF U NITED STATES TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS: MIDNIGHT EXPRESS UWF WORLD 6 MAN CHAMPIONS: ROCK n ROLL EXPRESS & RICKY GIBSON UWF WORLD TV CHAMPION: VLAD THE RUSSIAN HAMMER Hello again everybody. Welcome to Crossfire, the brand new weekly UWF Wrestling show. I am Lance Russell and I am so excited to have my old partner, Dave Brown back with me. We are coming to you today from the Houston County Farm Center in Dothan, Alabama. Well we have some big changes for you UWF Wrestling fans. Dave Brown: That’s right Lance. In order to give you the past action, Cowboy Bill Watts, Ron Fuller and Jerry Jarrett have decided all wrestler will be under the UWF with no separation by territory. This will allow the people throughout the country to see all the big stars the UWF has to offer! The UWF will run two weekly TV shows. Crossfire as you see here and Power Pro which will follow tomorrow. MATCH The Southern Boys (Steve Armstrong & Tracy Smothers) defeat The Midnight Cowboys (Duke Myers & Kerry Brown in masks) The fans here in Alabama are very familiar with the Southern Boys are were behind them 100%. The end came when Smothers followed up Armstrong’s Jawbreaker with a Southern Kick (Spinning Superkick). At the interview desk, The Southern Boys were joined by Bob Armstrong where they let everyone know that they are not happy with a lot of the goings on in the UWF. They focused on Jim Cornette and his Midnight Express! This quickly brought out Jim Cornette where he says the Southern Boys must be out of their minds as they have been around for about a minute and they are already challenging the greatest tag team in wrestling today. He warns them to watch they are saying or they just might get burned. This reference to the fireball which took out Ronnie Garvin really set Bob Armstrong off but caller heads prevail. MATCH: WENDELL COOLEY DEFEATS LEO SEITZ WITH A RUNNING BULLDOG COMMERCIAL The chant of We Are… The Nation…. Of Domination starts to play as the United States Champion, Hacksaw Butch Reed comes to the interview desk along with the leader of the Nation, Ernie Ladd. Ernie Ladd: We told all you rednecks that Hacksaw was going to take the title from Terry Gordy and that is exactly what happened. There is nobody in the UWF man enough to stand up to Hacksaw and just you watch what is going to happen to this loser in the ring right now! MATCH Hacksaw Butch Reed with Ernie Ladd destroys jobber Mike Stone. The problem came when Hacksaw just continued to beat Stone after the match was over. Lance Russell: Oh come on. Enough is enough. Somebody has got to put a stop to this or poor Mike Stone may suffer permanent injuries. The crowd explodes as Terry Taylor rushes to the ring. WHAM! Taylor has cleared Hacksaw from the ring and Ernie Ladd and Hacksaw are on the outside thinking of their next move. Taylor is daring them to come back but it looks like the Nation has been dominated today by Terry Taylor. COMMERCIAL THE KIWI SHEEPHERDERS DESTROY BILLY STONE & TOM STAR Before our next match, “Dangerous” Danny Davis stops at the interview desks and lets the people know that they have never seen anyone with more ability then he has and they are in for a treat. As he makes his way to the ring both Lance Russell and Dave Brown wonder who that guy was. MATCH ROY LEE WELCH MAKES QUICK WORK OF “DANGEROUS” DANNY DAVIS WITH THE FULLER LEGLOCK At the interview desk. Roy says he is here in the UWF to try and help his family reunite. Lance reminds us all that Roy is a cousin to the Fullers and the Goldens. Lance continues to explain that Ron Fuller has split from his brother Robert and cousin Jimmy Golden and sided with Austin Idol and Tommy Rich. COMMERCIAL Before the main event match, Superstar Bill Dundee and the UWF World Champ, Jerry “The King” Lawler stop by the interview desk where they hype up their match for this Monday night in the Boutwell Auditorium against Tommy Rich and Austin Idol. They also warn Ron Fuller not to stick his nose in where it doesn’t belong. MAIN EVENT SUPERSTAR BILL DUNDEE VS “NATURE BOY” BUDDY LANDELL We get a three-part match here as Buddy Landell begins playing the afraid heel that eventually gets caught by the babyface. Dundee has him time on top now as Landell does a great job of bumping and selling. Eventually, Landell uses some questionable tactics and gets his turn with the momentum. In the end, Dundee no sells some big haymakers from Landell and the Superstar has the crowd ready for him to go wild but Tommy Rich and Austin Idol with Ron Fuller hit the ring. It is now 4-1 and Dundee takes a pretty good beating until the cavalry of Jerry Lawler and the Southern Boys hit the ring. Fuller and his boys head for the hills but the microphone does pick up Ron Fuller shouting to Buddy Landell. Ron Fuller: Hey Nature Boy, Welcome to the Fuller Fab Ones! Lance Russell: Oh it can’t be. It is like a brand new Rat Pack is born. Tommy Rich, Austin Idol and Buddy Landell together with Ron Fuller. This could mean some real trouble for the World Champ and the rest of the UWF. Well don’t forget to join us Birmingham this week and see if Superstar Dundee is ok and able to get revenge with Jerry Lawler on the Fuller Fab Ones. So lonf from Dothan!

Great tournament again! I thought I had this one right as I picked Eddie Gilbert to win it all but Bam Bam is a great choice. Can't wait for the next show.

Would be great!

World Class is in good hands! Love your style. I must admit that I picked everything wrong. I had Kevin Von Erich, and the Freebirds coming out with the titles. The UWF will have a big surprise when Dusty returns from WCCW! There are consequences even for the American Dream when he crosses the line to the evil Fritz empire.

Sorry worded it wrong. I agree. 6 Is fine. I just mean that when the draft comes along and if we are still at 6, free agency will have more choices so I think Gene should have DJ now

I would have no problem with you using him now. To be honest, I have some fears that we are down to 6 people left in the game which means that there could be up to almost 200 people in the draft and with it being only 3 rounds.... I am unsure if DJ Peterson would be in the top 18.

Tag team division is rolling. Martel going down to Samu hurts his chances at holding on to the #1 contenders status. Wonder if the NWA has other plans for Martel and Flair. We will just have to wait and see.

Great first show! As much as the UWF is sick and tired of Fritz VonErich and we were glad to see him go, he really knows how to put on a good show! The David VonErich memorial is going to be awesome!

UWF would like to use the Rock n Roll Express, Brody and Hansen on Halloween... Oct. 31

Nice to see the women getting some attention.

This slow playing of the clown angle has me hooked. I can't wait to find out who it is 1

Enjoyed the Bash! I guessed the TA outcome correctly but I wish I had seen that in person! I also enjoyed the Nature Boy getting some great singles matches during the Bash! He is the straw that stirs the NWA this game. I hope to see more of the Marte/Flair feud cross over into the MACW! Welcome Back!

9/28/1985: SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANA UWF UNIFIED WORLD CHAMPION: JERRY “THE KING” LAWLER UWF WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS: THE ROAD WARRIOIRS UWF NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPION: STEVE “DR. DEATH” WILLIAMS UWF UNITED STATES CHAMPION: HACKSAW BUTCH REED UWF U NITED STATES TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS: MIDNIGHT EXPRESS UWF WORLD 6 MAN CHAMPIONS: ROCK n ROLL EXPRESS & RICKY GIBSON UWF WORLD TV CHAMPION: VLAD THE RUSSIAN HAMMER Hello again everybody. Welcome to Power Pro Wrestling, coming to you from Shreveport, Louisiana and the Irish McNeil’s Boys Club. I am Jim Ross and my partner today is Cowboy Bill Watts. We have got to get right to the video tape from Lake Front Arena in New Orleans and the big Loser Leave Town Title Match for the North American Title between Ted Dibiase and Steve “Dr. Death Williams. It obvious that both Dibiase and Williams are exhausted by neither will give an inch. As the ref admonishes Williams for a closed fist in the corner, Dibiase loads up the black glove. Williams rushes in and Dibiase swings! Wham! Dibiase’s punch is blocked and Dr. Death keeps shoulder blocking him into the corner. Dibiase stumbles out and Williams scoops him up! Oklahoma Stampede and we have a new champ! Jim Ross: That’s right folks, we have a new champ and the Rat Pack as we knew it is dead! Dibiase is banned from the UWF! Eric Embry is AWOL! Dr. Death comes out to loud applause and he is all amped up until Skandar Akbar hits the scene. SUMMARY SHOW TO GET US BACK ON TRACK AFTER MUSIC CITY MAYHEM ANGLE #2: Mr. Wrestling II and Shane Douglas turning on JYD in Nashville to collect the $25,000 bounty on JYD. Jim Ross is upset that Shane Douglas and Mr. Wrestling II turned on JYD in Nashville just to collect the $25,000. Mr. Wrestling II: I have learned many things over the years but one of the most important is the idea that a penny saved is a penny earned. I did not collect the bounty on JYD. I placed the bounty on JYD. That’s write I am the John who has been sending all those letters. I got sick and tired of JYD begging for my help and not saying thank you. You fans keep cheering for him and don’t see that it is people like me who keeps carrying him! Never once has he even asked what my name is. That is the least he could have done in the locker room. I have been in this industry for a long time and I got plenty of friends in wrestling. Each and everyone one of them calls me John, Johnny Walker! And now we won’t have to see JYD around here anymore. We broke his face so bad he will be eating through a straw for months and after that he will be wearing a mask so nobody has to see his broken face! ANGLE #3: The Midnight Express win the U.S. Tag Title from Ronnie Garvin and Terry Taylor as Bobby Eaton threw a fireball in the face of Ronnie Garvin. First of all, Ronnie Garvin is going to be out for a few weeks as he suffered some pretty bad burns. This means for now, Terry Taylor is going to go it alone and work as a single wrestler until Garvin is back and they can seek revenge on the Midnight Express. Second, we saw a video of an irate Jimmy Garvin going after Jim Cornette in the parking lot as he is seeking revenge for the attack on his brother. Jimmy might have taken this too far as he hit a Brainbuster on Cornette on the concrete. Cornette is in a neckbrace and Cowboy Jim Watts lets us know that while he understood the anger Jimmy Garvin was feeling, he could not condone such an attack outside of the ring. Watts said he had no choice but to suspend Jimmy Garvin indefinitely. ANGLE #4: Dusty Rhodes & Vlad “the Russian Hammer” Dusty is fuming from the attack by Vlad at Nashville and he really hypes up the USA vs Russia thing. We find out that in two weeks, Dusty will face Vlad for the UWF World TV title! ANGLE #5: Austin Idol’s Heel Turn Austin comes out with Tommy Rich and Ron Fuller and they are really laughing it up about how stupid Jerry Lawler and Superstar Bill Dundee are to believe that Idol was actually on their side. They vowed to take the Midget out and then focus on taking Lawler’s World title. We also find out the Eddie Gilbert has suddenly left the area but Fuller says not to fear. He is recruiting hard and his stable is about to grow. Fuller says his new army will be known as the Fuller Fabulous Ones. Later Dundee was at the interview desk with Lawler where Lawer apologized to Dundee for trusting Idol. They also vowed revenge and everything from the Memphis group seems back to normal which means nobody knows what is going to happen. Angle #6: UWF WORLD TAG TITLE Paul Ellering came out to the interview desk and basically did an “I told you so” interview where he truly believes that there isn’t a team in the UWF that can handle Animal and Hawk. Jim Ross did rattle off a few names but Ellering simple scoffed at them. ANGLE #7: UWF TV Schedule We find out that next week, the UWF will be premiering a new show titles Crossfire.

MUSIC CITY “Yello again everybody. I am Lance Russell and my partner tonight is Jim Ross. This truly has been the greatest week in UWF history as all of the promotions have come together for this wrestling spectacular and tonight is the culmination. Three huge World Title Matches are on tab for us here in Nashville at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds!t! UWF WORLD 6 MAN TAG TITLE The Tennessee Stud Stable (Tommy Rich & Eddie Gilbert) & Big John Stud Vs The Rock N Roll Express & Ricky Gibson An energy filled match that goes nearly 20 minutes and each wrestler gets some love. It starts out with the baby faces being one step ahead of everything the heels do. With some running of the ropes and great technical wrestling and some really cool reverses, the heels are so frustrated that they are kicking the ropes in anger. That is until Big John actually catches Ricky Gibson who went for a cross body block which leads to a huge slam from the nearly 7 footer and we head to the face in peril segment. Ross and Russell think the end is near but with amazing agility, Gibson bounces off the ropes and makes a tag to Ricky Morton. It doesn’t matter who the tag was to, we got all 6 in the ring in a hurry and the babyfaces are back in control. Double Drop kick to Stud and he stumbles through the ropes. Double back body drop to Rich and he is on the ground arching his back! Gilbert is surrounded as we hear Jim Ross telling us to get ready; we have seen this move before. The Rock n Roll Express and Ricky Gibson hit the ropes and come off at the same time and connect with a TRIPLE DROP KICK TO ALL DIFFERENT SIDES OF HOT STUFF’S HEAD! Ricky Morton goes for the cover but Wildfire comes to make the save…. WHAM Double Drop Kick by the Gibson brothers! 1… 2… 3. Jim Ross: AND WE HAVE NEW 6 MAN TAG CHAMPIONS UWF WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE The Road Warriors with Paul Ellering vs The Hiroshimo Wrecking Crew ( Genoichiro Tenryu& Jumbo Tsurata) with Lars Anderson Lance Russell: We are about to see a TRUE WORLD TITLE MATCH as we have the best North America has to offer vs the Best of the East! This might be the first time the Road Warriors are looking across the ring at their equals. Jim Ross: And don’t forget those two masterminds on the outside. Ellering or Lars may have something to say about this before all is said and done. The first few minutes if the match goes hot and heavy where both sides hit some big moves but nothing earth shattering. We then get a few minutes where each team is trying to play some mind games to show their domination… strength contests and some submission holds by the Wrecking Crew but we are still basically where we started. NOW THE WAR IS ON…. POWER MOVE AFTER POWER MOVE Lariats, Suplexes, and Powerbombs!. While these were all huge moves, each partner was prepared to make the save. After Lars tripped up Hawk, the Hiroshima Wrecking Crew takes over and we almost had new champs as Tenryu connected with a Folding Powerbomb but Paul Ellering placed Hawk’s leg on the bottom rope. Eventually we go bonzo gonzo here and the Road Warriors caught both members of the Wrecking Crew with Lariats! DOOMSDAY DEVICE ON GENICHIRO FOLLOWED BY DOOMSDAY DEVICE ON JUMBO! HAWK COVERS GENOCHIRO AND ANIMAL COVERS JUMBO! The ref is unsure what to do so he just decides to make a count as at least two of them are the legal men. 1… 2… 3.! Jim Ross: Wow, if the Wrecking Crew can’t beat the Road Warriors, who can? The Road Warriors are still the UWF World Tag Team Champions. UWF UNIFIED WORLD CHAMPION JERRY “THE KING” LAWLER VS STEVE “DR. DEATH” WILLIAMS After what we saw earlier this week when Dr. Death turned on Ted Dibiase, you would expect him to get a little love form the fans but this is Tennessee and Jerry Lawler is THE KING! As far as the match goes, Lawler is the better technical wrestler and catches Williams in moves like the abdominal stretch and the full nelson. The problem here is that Lawler doesn’t have the power to hold the moves. Williams is a BEAST. He simply flips Lawler over in the Ab Stretch and squeezes his way out of the full nelson. Williams controls the next part of the match but he becomes frustrated after Lawler escapes a few pin attempts some big moves like a football tackle and powerslam. Williams now brought in the rough stuff but this is right up Lawler’s ally! Eventually the King is on top again and the crowd goes nuts as he drops the strap on the singlet. A middle rope fist drop! WHAM! Lawler goes for the cover and to the shock of everyone, Williams powers out on 1! Lawler knows he needs some bigger moves so he goes for the piledriver but Williams flips him over his back. Williams connects with a bodyslam! 2 count! Football Tackle! 2 ½ Count! Frustrated, Dr. Death Scoops up Lawler and starts to run! WHAM! OKLAHOMA STAMPEDE! Jim Ross: Oh my, an Oklahoma Sooner will soon be champ. Williams covers Lawler as the crowd starts a groan! 1… 2… CRACK! Jim Ross: Bah Gawd! The Devil has just hit Dr. Death with a chair and that Devil is Ted Dibiase The ref calls for the bell and Dr. Death is awarded the match but by DQ so no Title Change. Dibiase is gloating and playing up his revenge to the crowd. Jerry Lawler looks at Dibiase and then he looks at Dr. Death. Lawler loves to win but not like this. WHAM! WHAM! WHAM! Lawler lays out Dibiase. Lawler now goes over to Dr. Death and helps him up and the two shake hands as the crowd goes nuts! Jim Ross: Dr. Death did not gain the title tonight but he has gained millions of new admires this week at Music City Mayhem! Lance Russell: What a week of wrestling this has been! So long from Nashville!
